So how are your games going lately? [megathread]

[Thirza]

I love it when I'm gold healing as Mei and then the support are whining at the tanks and dps when we can't win. This was after 2 rounds.

There is no way those numbers are from before someone left.

A lot of the healing roster heal themselves passively for more than that even if they deliberately heal no one.

Ana
Lucio
Mercy
Baptiste
Zen
Moira
Brigitte

Zen is the only hero who can't heal himself.

You are saying you went 2 rounds and they never self healed?

It is literally unbelievable.

Someday.

It's okay to be below average at your hobbies my dude, don't be salty, you can still improve!

Here's an example of someone missing those brain cells I was talking about. ^

Not surprising from a hypocrite.

Moving on, the best way to nerf Doomfist would be to remove the bonus damage from colliding into
a wall. That would bring down some of his OP oppression.

Did you manage to get your SR above average? That'd be interesting news.

Blizzard seems to think his punch/wall damage doesn't need nerfing. Have you tried positioning correctly vs. an enemy Doomfist?

I'm starting to dread any map with a strong choke-point as an attacker these days. The amount of barriers is getting a bit ridiculous - and although it's perfectly possible to break them with enough firepower, it does grow tedious. A hero with the ability to prevent barriers from being formed in a specific area as an ultimate attack would be pretty neat.

[froschhure]

Ok, they really need to enforce shield tanks in the game. Not picking a shield tank should be grounds for getting a seasonal ban at this point. Tired of ending up with people thinking we can play non-shield tanks vs 2 shield tanks. Fuck them.

They also need to add a true solo queue, where you only face off against people who are solo queuing themselves.

Dont you realize that more laws and restriction make it only worse?

Literally this is what you get when you promote Role Queue at the current state

Sombras ulti removes barriers and prevents new ones. Too bad she's a throw pick.

I...actually forgot that Sombra is a thing. I so rarely see her in my games.

I've had 5 games this season where I've seen her and I've played some 200 hours this season combined on my accounts. She's really shit.

Perhaps I could if I could stop getting below average teammates.

Blizzard seems to think his punch/wall damage doesn't need nerfing. Have you tried positioning correctly vs. an enemy Doomfist?

Yeah, and they've been right with all their decisions so far right? He does far too much damage and needs a bit of a peg taken down.

Extremely hard to use to her max potential. If you face a good Sombra, she will be an absolute nightmare towards your
tanks. But her low health, as well as her kit demands high skill, which most dps aren't going to be at in most brackets.

Yeah. I'm GM on tank and DPS but hardstuck 3.4-3.6 on Zenyatta, must be the rating system.

No. It isn't the system, it is me, my aim with those balls is inconsistent and I'm not always confident enough to flank when I should be.

[Natta Lmo]

the matchmaking in this game sucks... my sr this season has been 1780 to 3100 and currently 2900... how can it be so stupid matchmaking... i got silver player in my placements and i ranked diamond...

Sounds like you're asking to be carried.

They do a pretty good job, most heroes are viable and Doom's punch hasn't been changed for ages and he's only recently become a good pick. His punch is fine.

Like I said, just position better. If you don't do dumb shit you won't get one-tapped.

If they instantly ban people like this: https://vocaroo.com/i/s0lj5yszApQz

Otherwise? No.

Have you tried walking over them or using a Symm tp? Works a charm.

Yeah, no. You shouldn't force people to do anything bar throwing/cheating/being assholes.

Game seems a great deal significantly more toxic now then it ever has been.

This is why I'm considering playing Overwatch on Nintendo Switch. From what I heard, it won't support crossplay and requires Nintendo Online subscription which I already have. So I think it's a change of pace for me, a lot of toxic players from PC won't play it because of the FPS downgrade so I could enjoy the game again toxic-free and in handheld.

Just returned into OW from long for the first time from 6 months. I like the 2-2-2 but for some reasons i was placed way down from my last season raiting.

You were away for 6 months and expected that you'd place where you were before? Why?
